Rachael Blackmore was on board when CHRISTMAS JUMPER just failed to hold off Arizona Flyer, who was receiving 9lb, over slightly further at Tramore and compensation awaits despite a 4lb rise. Viking Hoard won a track and trip handicap two years ago by 15 lengths and suffered in the weights subsequently but looked on the way back at Roscommon last week. Dylan Oak ran very well at Punchestown on just his fifth start and normal progress should see him in contention but Stolen Moment has been well beaten from her new mark since scoring by 10 lengths at Ballinrobe. Barangarou produced her best run on heavy going at Wexford last time.
